The role of an engineer is to: solve technical problems; to offer a solution. It seems with regard to IEng no one has offered anything approaching a solution. So here are possible candidate. Replace IEng with ACEng (for Associate CEng). The relationship between ACEng and CEng will be similar to Associate Professor and Professor, or Junior Doctor and Hospital Consultant. Both are Chartered status, but the senior title includes additional experience or competences , such as Senior designer, or manager, and/or safety critical design signoff. Unlike IEng which is separate fromy CEng, the competence of ACEng is interlinked with and a natural progression path towards CEng. Most Junior Doctors remain in that position throughout their careers; in the same way most ACEngs will remain so throughout their careers. I believe this is the best way to go.
